Your point is well-made and well-taken. Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning covers this point with powerful eloquence. A survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, Dr. Frankl found his greatest happiness in living a life full of meaning: being of service, creating value, doing something to make this a better world. To paraphrase Matthew 10:39: “Whoever shall find his life [live a life based on ego, acquisitiveness, gamesmanship, lust] shall lose it [life loses meaning, and there is great suffering in the soul], but whoever gives up his life for me [sacrificing selfishness, acquisitiveness, ego, etc. to help or be of service to others] shall find it [experience great satisfaction and a profound sense of purpose].”
